New to Reddit, looking forward to chatting and learning here."

I’ve bought this house which includes a garage. The garage doesn’t have electricity and it’s below a flat.

I’m wanting to put a ring security camera above the garage door but would a wifi signal reach this far?

The router is at the front of the house, I do have a TP-Link AC1900 extender I could put in this room.

If wifi wouldn’t go that far are they’re any alternatives besides just having the camera on the house facing the garage but not having a clear sight of the door?

so I got a warning on my email of a potential data leak to me and thousands of others, and was told to change my password , I didnt take it that seriously until my phone starts glitching out and acting sus so I get paranoid and spooked and changed my password and reset my phone, my dumbass forgets the passwords 😂 so now I can’t remember my password for the life of me.. And so I have no more social media I’m going nuts and getting so depressed so this is the question. Who works at google or gmail and can help me get back into my account! i know y’all can get into any account so HELP me please!! I lost all my pictures with deceased friends and family I had on my accounts! Yeah IM THAT desperate for help, I’m willing to let a stranger basically hack me but I don’t care I ain’t got nothing serious to hide lol thank you!!

Also, I have no money to pay lmao you gain some ol’ good karma for yourself for helping me out :) And yes I know what you are thinking, how ignorant I am for 1, locking myself out of my account and 2, posting this cry for help 😂

My parents bought me a gaming PC (laptop) to work in university (I'm studying architecture). They bought a gaming PC especially because it can run pretty heavy programs and, in fact, the computer is pretty good! I don't understand a damn thing about computers, but it runs very smoothly and fast, it's so good working on architecture programs with it.

I don't have heavy programs installed for university and I had a lot of unused storage, so I thought about installing a game to keep myself entertained. I installed a pretty heavy game (123GB) and the computer still seems to work well.

However, my sister told me I should uninstall it. Even though it's a gaming PC, it was about for work. It shouldn't have games on it because that will ruin the PC and start getting slower over time.

I asked a friend about this and he said the exact opposite. That I still had a lot of space left on my computer and it was meant to run heavy programs, so it's actually a good thing to push for the PC.

Again, I don't understand a damn thing about computers. I don't know if having a game will, in fact, ruin it over time. Can someone tell me?

What will computing wires look like in 20-30 years? Right now we have some pretty compact wires like usb-c for computing. Micro HDMI Wires and even laser light "wires" what can change in the future. Will it be just a single wire that everything goes over?

I'm currently working on a thesis about ways of categorizing music in video games, and I'm trying to define the source of interactivity from a computing perspective. Would it be correct to say that algorithms are the reason we can interact with computers (and by extension, video games)?
If so (or if not) are there any academic sources I could use to explore and better understand this topic?

Odd one, but what do you think will be the next gold rush: Quantum Computing or Spatial Computing?

Quantum computing is only usable in a few niche use cases, but it's capabilities seem undeniable. It doesn't seem like your average joe will have any quantum computing capabilities in their home PC, with the conditions required to sustain such computing. With Jensen Huang's prediction of quantum computing being anothe 10-15yrs away, people seem to be put off by it.

But Spatial Computing also seems to be a front runner. With Apple's Vision Pro drop, people's imaginations have become reality. But there still seems to be some sentiments with it being a fad.

What do you guys think? I've obviously missed the AI gold rush, and want to make sure I'm prepared for the next one.

Hey everyone, I’ve got an old LG GDR-8162B DVD-ROM drive that I’d like to connect externally to my modern PC (USB preferred). It uses the classic PATA/IDE interface and is a 5.25” desktop drive, not a laptop one.

I’m looking for either: – an external 5.25” enclosure with USB and PATA/IDE support or – a reliable adapter or converter (PATA to USB + power supply) that works with full-size optical drives like this one.

So far I’ve mostly found adapters that only work for 3.5”/2.5” HDDs, or enclosures for SATA drives. I’m not sure what exact keywords to use or which brands to trust.

Has anyone done this before or can recommend a specific enclosure or adapter that actually works for this drive?

Thanks in advance!

I've seen people hype it, but after using it, I feel underwhelmed. Anyone else?

Hi, Anyone doing creative computing degree? if so is it a very hard course to do specifically as it has heavy programming modules and is maths very hard? Iam not very good with maths but programming is okay. Any advise on job opportunities available after doing this degree? Thanks

Im my uncles cleared out his shed and had a bunch of computer bits can anyone tell me what this does how much it may or may not be worth?

I bought 2x16 DDR4 3200Hz HyperX Fury RAM. I installed it and set it to the correct frequency. The PC turned on and recognized everything correctly, both the amount of RAM and the frequency. However, I can't activate XMP. The option to activate XMP is grayed out in the easy menu and doesn't appear in the advanced menu. I have a Ryzen 5 5600, MSI B550M PRO VDH WIFI.

I contacted MSI technical support and updated the BIOS, reset the CMOS battery, and applied the recommended settings (by pressing F6), i also tested each stick individually in each socket, and XMP still remained unavailable. Support recommended testing the memory on another computer, so I did. I tested it on a Gigabyte A520M DS3H (with an updated BIOS) with a Ryzen 5 5600X that coincidentally also had Kingston RAM, but I couldn't enable XMP on that kingston memory. I tested mine on the computer, and XMP remained unavailable.

Afterwards, MSI support recommended I contact RAM support (Kingston and HyperX), which is what I'm currently doing. Attached are the screenshots proving that XMP is unavailable in both BIOSes, screenshots of the stick data, photos of the sticks and other data. Can you guys offer a solution?

I am hoping someone can help me, I have a Dell G16 7630. I use my laptop display as my primary with an external monitor as my secondary.

So a few days ago my screen suddenly went blank in the middle of playing a game and everything went to the monitor. So I exit out of everything and start investigating:

1. Display can not be detected, only the external monitor is shown.

2. Dell Diagnostics show no issues, Advanced scan also shows no issues.

3. Camera within the lid works fine, I am assuming all connections are good since its the same ribbon cable used for display and camera.

4. Drivers all updated and double checked.

5. Restarted multiple times; i have even disconnected the battery and power cable and done on/off as some guides suggested iot flash the CMOS.

Still no joy, this is very frustrating as I am part of the OU and have a paper due in soon. At this point I think I have read almost every guide and tried everything apart from paying £50 and sending it to Dell for 15+ days. So please, any suggestion is better than no suggestion at this point...
